For this classic Campari style Italian Bitter, Contratto uses a proprietary blend of 24 natural herbs, botanicals, spices, roots, seeds etc that are milled and cold extracted to retain as much flavor as possible.
Contratto 1933 bitter is made from a grape brandy base. It's a full body aperitivo and because of that, it can be an interesting substitute to the more famous Aperol and Campari. Just with the addition of soda water it becomes a complex aperitivo. It's aromatic: you can smell citrus such as orange peel and tangerine.And when you taste it a pleasant smooth bitterness combined with herbal notes and a touch of salinity lingers in your mouth. And if you want to experiment something different with a full explosion of flavors, you can mix Contratto either with Rye or Brandy! Like the Italians do, combine Contratto with salty treats like peanuts, cheese, cold cuts and olives and you'll have the perfect pre dinner aperitivo!
